If you work it out in Euro's, then it's about 625k. So significant difference to what he's paid at the moment.
That's without image rights and bonuses.
Weren't PSG recently in hot water with FFP? How can they now spend £200m on Neymar?
I've no idea. Upfront payment of the release clause + massive signing on fees that Neymar and his father will want + these obscene wages.
Its truly a shame. Pogba always looks so miserable when you see him. Cant believe we did this to him.
He didn't chose United, Mourinho and Woodward kidnapped him and the Stockholm syndrome did the rest.
That's already a while ago and was at a time when FFP had a side effect of prohibiting investment.

Nowadays the finances are very healthy.
It's a post-postmodernism world. Or post-post-postmodernism?
We and Mourinho would be getting slaughtered in the press if we'd already spent what City have and the figures thrown around for other potential targets. Pep and City? Not noise whatsoever.
Twas epic. Guy is a tool. He acts like he's 14.
Monaco threatens to launch procedures against clubs tapping up Mbappé.
Pep will get credit for making bad defending the new thing and be lauded as a visionary.City better have the best defence record of all-time with the money they're spending on it! If they let any goals in, questions will be asked
Liverpool again?
Net spend, they've only spent around £7m more than us at the moment. Which is nothing really.
We have sold players too and we also raised some money in January selling Memphis and Schneiderlin.
This summer we have spent 75m on Lukaku, 30m on Lindeloff. They have spent 50m on Walker, 35m on Ederson, 45m on Silva so they have us beat by 25m before taking int account what we've sold.
BBC Sport: "Monaco said in a statement that "important European clubs" have made contact with Mbappe without permission."
That rules out City then

Monaco should now refuse to sell Mendy to City.
I thought they couldn't do this, as they can't loan out a player that isn't registered to them, which he can't be until January...?
Unless Chelsea are loaning him out, with an agreed sale to Athletico for January?
Please god make Liverpool be one of the teams.
Not sure about that rule. Vitolo has signed for Atletico and he's on loan at Las Palmas until January.
The January transfers belong to the previous season. It's always been that way, nothing new.
The only player we sold this season has been Januzaj.
Hmmm I was sure that was how it worked, thinking about it from a non football perspective (which doesn't always hold true when applied to football), you could never loan something out that you don't yet own, not legally at least.
Hopefully someone who knows more about these things can shed some light, but I guess I'm wrong...
That's an interesting case, because Vitolo activated the release clause, which means that technically he could have just signed a 6 months contract with Las Palmas and then will sign with Atletico in January...
For real? Milan's transfer window is straight out of EA Sports' FIFA franchise.
Does anybody care to provide their starting 11 as of today?
Sure. Donnarumma-Conti-Bonucci-Romagnoli-Rodriguez-Biglia-Kessie-Bonaventura-Chalanoglu-Andre Silva-?(either Suso or Musacchio)
Technically they still have Bacca but they've been desperately trying to get rid of him pretty much 2 minutes after they signed him
You can buy the player but not register him for competition. So they own him but just can't register him yet. That's my understanding, but then again there must be a reason Vidal and Arda Turan weren't loaned out.
If the storey about Monaco lodging a complaint against City for trying to tap up their player then I doubt they will play ball for any other player.
Maybe now is the time to strike

Why?
I remember travelling round Chile at the time and meeting a Liverpool fan celebrating them "agreeing a fee" for Bacca..befoere him moving to AC shortly after! Never knew how he did there..
It depends if they continue with the 433 from last season or move over to a 5 in the back really. I would say 5 back would be best but needs to be gel'ed in;
Donnarumma
Conti-Musacchio-Bonucci-Romagnoli-R.Rodriguez
Kessie-Biglia
Suso-Bonaventura
A.Silva
Then you got;
Abate, Calhanoglu, Gomez, Antonelli, Calabria, Montolivo, Locatelli, Mauri, Niang, Borini, Paletta, Zapata, Vangioni, Bacca, Cutrone, Gabriel, Storari and a few out on loan as well as a few more rumored in.
Looking forward to seeing him play.
Because he's a mid-table player. He's the caf's definition of a poacher - a player who needs his teammates to do 90%(it's an exaggeration) of the job for him to score goals, and is absolutely useless outside of goals
@TsuWave
Youre the one who brought up Vardy etc. Almost all of the strikers youve named had around the same goal to game ratio in their early twenties as they had in their prime.
If anything the ratio goes up because, shock horror, they join bigger clubs with more chances to score. Something that Morata doesn't have because of who he has played for.
Posting names of strikers with near 100 career goals by the time they're 24 and holding them up as examples of players who struggled to score in their mid to early twenties is beyond idiotic.
If you ignore the goals they've scored then they struggle to score goals.
Youll be quoting Van Basten soon.
Feck you quoted Etoo who joined Mallorca at 19 odd and left at 23 as their all time domestic goalscorer.
Well leave it there since we'll never agree.

This is so pathetic. We got Lukaku and Lindelof and we have no one else to buy. If Woodward had the list of names for 2 months prior to the season ending, he should have done a much better job to have the deals in place, so that we just signed all of them by July 1st. This is so poor and this gives Mourinho another excuse if we don't deliver our goals this season.
For all the fuss about them, that doesn't look that impressive to me.
My last transfer post today, its annoying to post only five post per 24 hours
LvG was right, #ThanksLvG
